REVISED

So I have recently decided that some of the things on my 101 in 1001 list are not attainable and not realistic. I have removed those items and replaced them with things that actually are possible, both time wise and money wise. Here is the revised list complete with the items that I have already finished being crossed out and the items I am working on in bold.  I still have over half of my time left to finish the list in and I really do hope to cross off every last item!
